It comes this time every year, when we look back to the year that we just left behind in order to review what happened, what went wrong (possibly!), which moments we want to keep and what resolutions to make…

Personally, I make such reviews for the past 10 years…not that it means that I learn much of the process, but it is interesting to remember what happened in the previous year; I find it liberating…

So how was 2008 for me? I would start of by stating what a colleague of mine, who is into horoscopes and stuff, told me in early 2008. He said that 2008 would be a good year for Scorpios (yeap, that’s me), and you know what? He was actually right! Well in average that is, because there where sad moments, there was grief, there was pain in 2008, but in the end all those sad moments (especially losing a friend so tragically and so young) make you realize that life has upturns and downturns and all we can do is gather ourselves when we fall and move on stronger that before…After all as Friedrich Nietzsche said “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”.

2008 was a mix of all things…there was fun (lots of it)…there was joy…there was travelling…there was introspection…there was meeting friends, having fun with friends and be grateful to have them in your life…

2008 marked a major travelling goal for me, as I crossed the Atlantic for the first time in my life in order to visit my friend Peny in Ann Arbor, MI ( ) and visit Chicago as well. New York will have to wait for now. And as a traveler, I was happy to visit 2 new countries as well: Hungary and Slovakia. Damn! The world is just too big…

2008 was also the year that I managed to sew a skirt all by myself…and design more and more…and better each time…

And I know what all you wonder…what about love? Don’t you little girl have feelings? Well apparently I have…and in late 2008 I realized that I CAN feel (well that is a big thing to say for some one who used to call herself a cruel and heartless b*tch)… And all I have to say is that 2008 ended in the sweetest way…

As for my resolutions for 2009…well they are not a surprise…First and foremost I wish that I am healthy, so I can realize all the things that I dream of! Second, I want the smile on my face that I have right now to last…Third, I want to travel, travel, travel as much as I can!! I have a good quote on this one: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” – Saint Augustine, and I want to read as many pages as possible! And last, but not least, I want to design and create, because that’s my dream and that is what makes me happy.
